"What else can we do? Until we figure out how to deal with this kid, we've got no choice but to adopt a soft, appeasing approach. Don't provoke him!" Li Cihua sighed. He felt utterly stifled. Ever since he'd attached himself to the Zhao family and made his fortune in Songshan City, he had never been this stifled! But there was no help for it now. Of the good men at his side, some had been beaten to death by Wei Zhao, the rest wounded. Even the Medicine King he'd brought in was useless — he'd tried to poison the man, and it had been seen through. How was he supposed to fight someone like that?
Su Jiaonang figured that made sense. What choice did they have but to play weak? If you can't beat them, you just have to take the bullying.
Li Cihua had Su Jiaonang go to the hospital to retrieve the silver needle, and then he returned once more to the restaurant from before.
Baldy President Wu was waiting for Wei Zhao to finish dinner so he could settle the bill, but Wei Zhao hadn't finished — instead, he'd waited Li Cihua right back to the restaurant! At the sight of Li Cihua, baldy President Wu was instantly overjoyed. Surely Li Cihua hadn't brought men to take revenge?
But looking more closely, that didn't seem to be the case at all! This time only Li Cihua and Su Jiaonang had entered the restaurant — all those underlings from before were gone!
Baldy President Wu hurriedly rose to greet Li Cihua, but Li Cihua waved him off with a hint of impatience.
Li Cihua arrived at the door of Wei Zhao's private room, knocked cautiously, and only entered after receiving permission from within.
"Wei Zhao, I've brought the silver needle." Li Cihua set the needle on the table, gritting his teeth.
"Oh, thank you. You can go now." Wei Zhao nodded. "By the way, thanks also for the three million yesterday. It let my girlfriend's family buy a big house."
"Don't mention it, don't mention it..." Li Cihua felt his face burning. He was supposed to be somebody, and yet here he was being treated like a clown.
Li Cihua scarcely knew how he made it out of the restaurant. How humiliating! Absolutely humiliating beyond words! If only he had never come — not only had he failed to do anything to Wei Zhao, he had been humiliated by the man instead! If this grudge went unavenged, he would never eat or sleep in peace!
Li Cihua decided that once he got back, he would sit down with Young Master Bing and work out how to take revenge on Wei Zhao.
Back at the Geli Fuyun Bar, Li Cihua held nothing back, recounting everything that had happened that day to Young Master Bing, down to the last detail. There was no point worrying about saving face now — he had already lost every last shred of it over this stretch of time.
"This Wei Zhao really is arrogant!" Zhao Qibing frowned after hearing Li Cihua's account. "I came to Songshan City to build something, but with Wei Zhao around, nothing goes smoothly! To this day I haven't earned a single cent — I've only lost money! By the way, how's the Qibing Tower coming along? Is it finished yet?"
"It's finished — we're in the final wrap-up stages now. I hired the most professional construction team in the country; at this speed, it's already as fast as it can be!" Li Cihua said.
"Since we have no way to deal with Wei Zhao for now, let's get the group's business up and running first!" Zhao Qibing said. "As for Wei Zhao, we'll figure something out slowly — there's no rush! The demolition in the shantytown has to keep going! This is the first project we've undertaken; it absolutely has to be done well!"
